Current Shows & Projects
Code Duello: Hamilton & Burr
Producer, Performer
My friend Matt Tucker and I created our own postcolonialhistoriocomedic fully-improvised play. It's based on the infamous Burr-Hamilton duel, set in America, 1804. It's performed in costumes, wigs, and authentic dialect, and it's hilarious. You don't even have to be a history nerd to enjoy this show. We've taken it to the Chicago Improv Festival, Providence Improv Fest, Del Close Marathon, and Toronto International Improv Fest, starting in 2006. We still tour festivals and do shows in Boston, New York, and for hire.
ImprovBoston Mainstage
Performer
I joined the MainStage cast of ImprovBoston after a few months with IB's Thursday-night show. We perform two shows every Saturday night, 8:00 and 10:00, at ImprovBoston. The show has been modestly described as: "Blending skillful storytelling, memorable music, audience participation, and joyful chaos, an elite cast of Boston's best improvisers creates a show that redefines itself with every performance. No rules. No boundaries. Just spectacular comedy and incredible improvisation."
Photography
Photographer
I've been photographing performing artists in the Boston area since 2003, and doing publicity shots for Boston theaters since 2004. My photos have appeared in papers and 'zines such as the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Boston Metro, and Panorama Magazine. The thing that separates me from other photographers is that I use a camera to take pictures.
Past Shows & Projects
The Wasteland Comedy Hour with T.S. Eliot!
Producer, Writer, Performer
The Wasteland Comedy Hour was a live happening, a multimedia sketch/variety show that ran Fridays in Nov/Dec 2007, in ImprovBoston's showcase slot. We took four months to produce seven unique, entirely scripted shows. Films, stage sketches, music, interviews, stand-up, and interactive media mixed together in a weird, aggressive variety show inspired by themes in modern poetry (and hosted by scholar and asshole T.S. Eliot [me]). You can find a lot of our material on the WastelandComedy.com website.
The Chagoon Conspiracy
Producer, Writer, Director
I wrote, directed, and produced a radio play... well, audio play, for free publication on the internet. It's a science fiction comedy. Installments were published every ten days on chagoonconspiracy.com from April–June 2007. You can listen to the entirety of the play on the site. If you like what you hear, please, send it to a friend.
Rondo
Performer
Rondo is Boston's first Harold team. We perform at ImprovBoston and Bastards, Inc. whenever we can. I'm currently on hiatus, but the rest of the team rocks hard with or without me, and has spawned ImprovBoston's whole Harold training/performing program.
The Uncommonwealth
Writer, Director, Performer
The Uncommonwealth is a sketch comedy troupe filled with Boston-area comedians. They produce filmed sketches for distribution on the vast internets. I wrote, directed, and still occasionally act for The Uncommonwealth, and you can see some of my work either on the A/V page, or on one of their numerous web presences:
Tiny Little Lungs
Director
I'm proud to direct Tiny Little Lungs, a two-woman musical improv show starring ImprovBoston performers Jaime Connors and Sarah McClean. They're immensely talented musicians, gifted actresses, and quite funny. Check out their upcoming shows:
The Tribe Players
Performer
This was my regular improv gig from fall '05 to summer '06. I performed every Friday on The Tribe Theater's mainstage, which was located in downtown Boston, in the theater district, before it shut down in July '06. The Tribe Players performed short-form and long-form improv, did some fun outgigs, and generally rocked up the stage.
